Caramel sauce is one of my favorite dessert toppings, beside chocolate. This caramel sauce is more reminiscent of butterscotch candies, but also rich in flavor. It tastes great on ice cream too so you know kids will love it!

This is the perfect caramel sauce topping for ice cream, french toast, desserts, and especially Buttermilk Chocolate Toffee Cake. It is also the secret ingredient in my Spiced Ginger Peanut Chicken recipe. You can even use it as a dipping sauce for freshly sliced apples. My kids love this recipe and it’s always a hit when I serve it to guests.

Butterscotch Caramel Sauce

Mix all ingredients together in a medium saucepan over medium heat, until sugars dissolve. Turn heat to medium high, swirling frequently. Boil sauce for two minutes or until large bubbles form. Remove from heat. If you notice your sauce gets too thick after cooling, you can reheat on the stove over low heat. Store caramel sauce covered in the refrigerator for one to two weeks. But you’ll probably eat it faster than that…especially if you have kids.
